>>123270709It's more the plebbitors who post shit from here into their shitty rec threads, which filters into facebook.The manga also helps with the exposure. I don't think Shieldbro is all that good anyways.

>>123270808I don't know about DanMachi, but I do know that for SAO and Mahouka, BT hosted LN translations. TnY translations on BT are for the WN, and not the LN (the two start to diverge wildly after about 100 chapters anyway).

Mushoku Tensei and Overlord are the only things(that are good) left now, no need to worry about Overlord since their not hosted on BT anyway, but MT HAS FUCKING 23 VOLUMES HOSTED, HOLY SHIT, ARCHIVE EVERYTHING NOW.

>>123272234>>123272156>>123272091>I didn't get a chance to archive Sword Oratoria's translationHow fucked am I? There has to be an archive link that collected all the translation before they were taken down somewhere, r-right?

No spearpool? This fucker is insanely awesome.How awesome he is? He is forcibly level reset, then slaughter everything in his sight and gain less than 1/4 of his original level. Yes, you read it right. He is the only hero who deliberately kill human to gain level.

Witch was just a victim of this chaotic world between a harsh mother who never understood her, religion which taught her where to place her beliefs, power struggles of the terrifying beast races in foreign lands, pressures of dependencies on external heroes and cravings for huge dicks.

I was planning on getting round to this some day. Downloading everything that is currently still on the BT page using Bakareader which I guess is restricted to WN stuff and it's mostly previews and external links. How much LN stuff was there before it was hit by removal? Is it archived anywhere already?

Have any LNs with actively available WN counterparts been licensed up to this point? I know Mahouka started as an WN, but Dengeki shuttered that years ago, well before it was licensed. Are there other other licensed LNs where the original web novel is still available, or is TnY the first?

>>123275088>waifufags unironically defending Witch>Motoyasu is so totally alpha why are we stuck with this loser>what the fuck is this spice and wolf, I thought this was an action seriesThe reactions of animeonly people would be hilarious.

>>123275135IIRC shadow>Helped Naofumi escaping>Monitored Bow>Joined force in killing turtleThen... Wait what was shadow doing in justice zombie event? I don't remember.Still kinda pissed off when female knight butted in during the fall of Sword.

>>123275676For the record, the word they should have used was "rise". "Rising" can be used as a noun of course, but in the sense of either a rebellious uprising or bread rising or something.The Japanese uses 成り上がり which means rising in the social sense, in fact it generally refers to upstarts and nouveaux riches. So the proper title would have been "the Rise of the Shield Hero".I'm not sure how they fucked this up since there must be millions of works called "The Rise of X"

>>123275566Full block all kind of offense, yes. Meteor Shield: Acquired in Old Man's shop and Zeltburg

Reflect Magic, but with some limitation (following gradual coverage following moon phase) Moon Shield: acquired in Fobrey because they fled before can acquire Meteor Shield from Old Man

>>123275873Motoyasu can defeat Naofumi. Take all slave Naofumi have (in non Hero mode), they still can't defeat Motoyasu. He is fucking hax, make thing worse: he has nasty habit to minmax everything. When Naofumi said that Motoyasu is the strongest, he mean it.

Some reason:> Fastest hero> Highest firepower> Can cover all range: close range, mid range, or throw it OTH> Fastest skill cooldown (including ultimate skill)> Spam, yes Motoyasu can fricking spam his skill. Ultimate skill nonetheless.> His based attribute is Fire that proven VERY troublesome. He makes illusion from heat, hide himself, make decoy and anything else. Oh yeah, he can spam it too.> His second basic attribute is heal. He makes improvement that include fire attribute when healing, it makes healing is twice or three times more effective.

The only one who have chance to match Motoyasu in full power is combination of Itsuki and Naofumi.

>>123276233probably because every thread theres always that one fucking faggot who literally spoil the thread, if you read the thread all you can see spoiler black lines. But some parts were fucking fake, seriously though the live TL threads were the best since everyone wants blood. And so the cycle of hate shall continue.

>>123281639I read up to 220 but had to take a break due to stupid characterizations.......Bloody hell! All the hero's characters piss me off mostly because of sheer idoticy or (crawing in my skin these wounds will never heel) themes.

>>123283124you don't mean that one story where mc is like reinincrnated as his elementry school self and decides to rape everyone and keep on getting killed my daughter do you? That story premise is so terrible.

>best girl Atlas is deadWho fucking cares about this series anymore.And that shithead never let her sleep with him, not even once. It was pretty obvious she wouldn't really molest him or anything, what the hell was he so afraid of??

>>123269255>>123271168>>123274833>implyingA foreign country licensing something doesn't mean shit when it comes to an anime adaptation. Japan doesn't give a fuck what we do with their stuff. By that logic, every damn time France gets a manga translation it must mean an anime is coming soon. It means nothing. Foreign/western markets mean nothing to the Nips.

Looks like ANY LN that is even remotely translated on the net will be localized.

I'm okay as long as they don't C&D to fan-translators while at the same time doing slow as fuck releases and/or later silently discontinue the localization while sitting on the license doing fucking nothing for it.

>>123276233He's alright but going into it i thought the author was going for an edgelord gary stu type with his enemies constantly being wrong and his other hero peers being either incompetent or useless.

Dunno how it is in the light novels though, I've only really read the manga thus far.

>>123289557>Wanting to wait 3 years for the official english translations to catch up to where the free fan translations

I wouldn't have a problem with series getting licensed if Baka-Tsuki didn't moralfag and take everything down and then people translating decide to drop shit. That way I wouldn't have to wait fucking years to get back to where I was.

>>123295441Misogynist is an understatement, my friend.He sees them as a pig and if Naofumi didn't near him, big chance he will slaughter women. In Beifreung class spell or spam X class skill.Motoyasu HATES woman.

DanMachi getting an anime's just confirmed with its sales. With Rakudai getting animated, it's guaranteed that Bahamut will too. The difference is that Kadokawa will never give MF Books titles the budget to animate this.

>>123295837I would feel like that was overreacting to a woman fucking with him, but then I remembered that there;s also a shojo manga out there that has the girl completely flipping out and becoming a "dark and edgy" personality (not really misandrist though) after it turned out that the guy she liked was just using her.

...Kind of like Naofumi now that I think about it.

Does Spear Hero Gaiden really have Motoyasu kill Naofumi btw? Because I kinda want to read that bit.

>>123298554Spear Hero is kinda Motayasu just being Naofumi-like with his actions and goddamn slaughtering a country because one of the heroes died. Seriously im having fun reading it than the main story, also Motayasu is a great shipper.

>>123298554Actually, he doesn't overreacting at all. Like Naofumi can't taste when cursed and unable to trust women + personality change post lifted cursed, Motoyasu see woman as a pigs and only hear oinking.He literally sees them as a pigs and hear them oinking like a pigs.

Nah, he never kill Naofumi but he kill other repeatedly. He kill / fuck Itsuki the most.Until now, he is character with highest killing count (4 beasts included).

>>123298985Maybe it sounds odd, but actually Naofumi and Motoyasu is quite similar.

>>123269219How is a Western publisher whose About Page claims them as being super hipster which is why they barely released anything translated from Japan in their company history now claim Shield Hero as being a hipster approved masterpiece that needs to be translated by them when they only translated really short works in the past?

It feels like some of the company employees were browsing some shit site like reddit or saw someone's favorite LN/WN ranking list and picked it as their next work to be licensed even though they have no real history of translating LNs before.

I feel like the localization company will go bankrupt before releasing Shield Hero fully.

>>123301920Actually, "loop" is Motoyasu's mistake. He travel to parallel world. It never reset, just take different route.Big spoiler: Naofumi have a threesome and impregnate both of them (directly mentioned by the girls itself and Naofumi take responsibility for it). One of the girl is virgin. next time he has a plan for 4-some (for a new virgin girl). Surprised? Me too.

>>123301977Shield can't be used in same power rating as Spear / Bow / Sword. Shield is different than rest of heroes.

You can tell because the web novel is full of edgy shit like guro that wouldn't fly by in a mainstream LN publisher with an editor not giving the okay for a guro scene.

Use your brain a little and ask yourself if what you are reading would be allowed by an editor to be sold to the masses which likely includes kids as well because light novels are meant to be aimed at kids.

>>123309970>full of edgy shit like guro that wouldn't fly by in a mainstreamI wouldn't say full of...but then I may be desensitized by the books I like...

>ask yourself if what you are reading would be allowed by an editor to be sold to the masses twilight, fifty shades of grey, the Gorean worlds, these are sold to the masses and published, despite being bad in their own ways.

>which likely includes kids as well because light novels are meant to be aimed at kids.this I did not know...

that said, it makes me think that the web novel is the truer work left unchanged by editors and censors...

those things said, good night ya'll talk to you later if the thread is up in the morning. this has been edifying.

Spear Hero Gaiden is really the best.But the fact that Naofumi forgets everything between loops, and such great characters (the new ones appearing in each loop) are totally erased from the story after their own loop ended, kind of makes me upset. And even the old characters from the main story don't get much scenes apart from their respective loop. It's sad.

>>123269219The difference between the WN and LN made me think how the editor manage to fix the shitty source material after the pope arc, it was a good move to expan thr turtle arc and maked it more sorrowfull and heartbreaking and have the chance to expand the skipped characters was a great choice, the WN kinda feeled that it leave the "revenge fantasy" it tries to do,but the LN completely manage to make it a rollecoaster. Im glad i can get a english translation but at the same time scared of the translationd going shitty.

>>123303068WN only. Basically, before the main story ended, Spear Hero was thrown into loops of doom by Final Boss. A few chapters later Shieldbro and Raphtalia saves him, but it seems he spent quite some long time in those loops. The Spear Hero Gaiden is the looooong story of the times he spent in those loops.

>>123324433nah nah nah, check it >>123273173she has hair in one form. if it becomes important he can stroke that...

>>123324673>stroking a dolphinnever done it, wouldn't know...and worst of all I keep imagining that with a sound like a cross between leather couch cushions rubbing together, and balloons rubbing together...despite evidence to the contrary...

>>123333330If I'm not wrong, the WN on the site its hosted on is free to access. And it wouldn't be that hard to prove that the WN Shield-bro series matches up with the fan translations being distributed.

>>123338327Thanks based god. I don't think you will find someone willing to do it without paying for it or that person killing himself after a while.

It's in another league, and you won't appreciate the series with a translation anyways. Maybe the WN special series since it's more about Mahiro and Princess Lunas doing fun stuff, but the main series is just to convoluted and with some meanings behind the words that makes it kind of hard to translate it.

I was planning on doing the specials but I need to get a better image than what is posted on the webpage because I'm fucking blind.
